"The demons that I know of are said to have been transformed from other living creatures. They could have been human cultivators, powerful demons, or even some powerful ghosts. Regardless of what they were originally, once they were demonized, not only would they suddenly become extremely powerful, but they would also become cruel and bloodthirsty. They would even attack any normal living creatures that come close to them without reason. "Bai Xiaotian was silent for a moment before he reluctantly explained.
"If that's the case, the danger of these demons is indeed far beyond that of demons and ghosts." Shen Luo listened and could not help but click his tongue.
"These are just ordinary demons. It's said that some powerful demons even have the terrifying ability to demonize other living creatures. If they come out to cause trouble, the situation will only be worse." Bai Xiaotian said.
"Demons are so dangerous, but the secular world of the Tang Empire is still peaceful. I think the government and the immortal cultivation sects within the borders have contributed a lot, right?" Shen Luo suddenly thought of Lu Huaming and asked subconsciously.
"As far as I know, I'm not too sure how the imperial court dealt with it. But in some important states and cities, there are usually one or two exorcist families like the Bai Family that are secretly fighting against the demons. It's just that ordinary mortals, and even most low-level immortal cultivators, are unable to come into contact with them. "Bai Xiaotian thought for a moment and said.
"Exorcist families are so mysterious. I'm relieved to go to your Bai Family. Oh right, I've never heard you mention it before. Where is your home? "Shen Luo let out a long breath and changed the topic.
"I've never told you that my home is in Jianye?" Bai Xiaotian heard and was a little confused.
"When did you tell me? Although I have never been to Jianye, I know that it is a long way from here. Even if I were to ride a fast horse and travel day and night without rest, I am afraid that it would take more than half a month to get there, right? "Shen Luo had some misgivings.
"There's no need for that. We can first take the water route and go all the way down along the Bailian River. We can disembark from Jiangyu County and then ride fast horses. We can reach in at most ten days." Bai Xiaotian shook his head and said.
Shen Luo thought for a while and nodded his head. "That's good too. I'm cultivating the Water Magic. If the evil spirit chases us along the way, I won't be completely helpless."
After coming to an agreement, the two of them looked at the stars in the sky. After determining the direction, they headed towards the White Lotus River.
After they bought a fishing boat, they rowed the boat down the river and headed all the way to Jiangyu County.
Out of Shen Luo's expectation, Bai Xiaotian's skill in steering the boat was extremely brilliant, far superior to his. The two of them took turns to steer the boat down the river. In less than half a day, they had sailed sixty to seventy li.
At this moment, it was Bai Xiaotian's turn to steer the boat. Shen Luo sat cross-legged in the cabin of the boat and began to close his eyes to circulate his energy, recovering the mana that he had expended previously.
Not long after, the sound of water splashing suddenly came from behind. It turned out to be a small white boat. There were boats on both sides of the boat, and they quickly caught up.
Shen Luo's ears twitched, and he suddenly had a bad premonition. He opened his eyes and stood up.
Just as he stood up, a grey figure soared from the small boat behind him and pounced forward like a vulture.
The figure was still in midair when a dark purple ray of light left his hand and rushed towards the fishing boat that Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian were on.
Although Shen Luo hadn't seen the object in the dark purple ray of light clearly, the presence was extremely familiar.
"Senior Brother Bai, it's Gu Hualing. Let's go!" He shouted and jumped into the river.
Bai Xiaotian had just jumped into the river when a loud rumble sounded. The fishing boat was hit by the dark purple ray of light and immediately shattered into pieces.
Before he could stabilize his body in the water, a ball of purple flame fell from the sky. It was the extremely vicious Demon Bone Phosphorus Fire. It came down on his head at an astonishing speed.
With a loud rumble, the river water beside Bai Xiaotian suddenly surged. A wave of water that was several feet high rose and fiercely slapped the Demon Bone Phosphorus Fire.
With a loud sizzling sound, the Demon Bone Phosphorus Fire evaporated more than half of the water in an instant, but the fire was also slapped away.
Seventy to eighty feet away, Shen Luo stuck half of his body out of the river and raised one hand to cast a spell. Perhaps because he was in a hurry to cast the spell, he didn't have time to take down the back of his green robe that covered half of his face.
"Junior Brother Shen's water-controlling technique is very impressive. I really admire it. The little Temple of Spring and Autumn is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers! " Gu Hualing was in midair and flapped the wings on his back. He was not angry at all because the Demon Bone Phosphorus Fire was slapped away.
At this moment, Bai Xiaotian had already stabilized his body in the water. He suddenly turned his head and shouted,
"Junior Brother Shen, be careful under the water!"
Before his voice died away, a narrow purple ray of light shot out from the water in front of Shen Luo. It was the three-pointed claw. It hit Shen Luo's chest like an arrow and penetrated it.
"Chi La" a sound was heard!
The green robe was torn apart, but there was no blood splattering. The "Shen Luo" was a lifelike water person. With a "splash", it disintegrated into flowing water and merged into the river.
In midair, the smile on Gu Hualing's face suddenly froze.
With a "splash" sound, Shen Luo emerged from the water beside Bai Xiaotian, wearing only his underwear. He grabbed Bai Xiaotian with one hand and shouted, "Let's go!"
Bai Xiaotian hurriedly activated the Flying Escape Talisman in his hand. The green light in front of his chest shone brightly, enveloping the two of them and flying into the sky. They drew an arc of light and flew into the distance.
"Let's see how far you can run this time!"
Gu Hualing said and waved his hand to call back the three-pointed claw. He spread the bone wings on his back, which were covered in a layer of purple light. His body also soared into the sky and chased after Bai Xiaotian and Shen Luo, but his speed was much slower.
Both parties chased each other and soon disappeared into the distant horizon, leaving behind only the two rowers on the small white boat behind. They were so scared that their faces turned ashen, and they trembled.
…
Shen Luo and Shen Luo flew for about the time it took to drink a cup of tea. The green light surrounding them gradually dimmed. The two of them then dived down and landed on an unknown official road.
"That demon woman is really haunting us!" Bai Xiaotian said as he stomped on the ground in anger.
"As a member of the Demon Clan, this woman must have some unique tracking technique." Shen Luo guessed.
"The key is that she can fly too. Although her speed is not as fast as my Flying Escape Talisman, my talisman can only last a few times! Let's go! "Bai Xiaotian said as he ran forward along the official road.
"Judging from the time she took to catch up with us, her tracking technique might need some time to prepare, or her bone wings might not be able to fly for a long period of time. Senior Brother Bai, how many more times can you use your Flying Escape Talisman? "Shen Luo followed and asked.
"I guess I can use it four or five more times. However, it's impossible to fly directly to the Bai Family. When the time comes, we'll have to think of another way." Bai Xiaotian said.
The two of them ran along the official road and finally arrived at a small town when the sky was about to brighten.
